Constraints are set up so that any violation will be prevented by a database error. We should have the option to create a constraint which is not enforced by the database, but simply as a way to trim down picklist options, for usability purposes. I have no reason to strictly prevent choices from being selected, I only want to remove options which are irrelevant to the user so that we can reduce the complexity.
For instance, I may say that a set of choices on picklist B is only available if picklist A has selected a certain choice. If I then find that items already exist which violate this rule I don't want to be forced to change them. Also if later some values are copied in a way which would violate the constraint, I don't want to stop that action because of the violation.
From Cummins' standpoint we have no reason to display an error message as a result of most constraint violations, and much of our development has had to work around this limitation.

If Integrity encounters a problem or a permission error the message appears: "...Please contact your administrator"
Know is the question whom to contact. There should be the possibility to list the administrators of Integrity.
Our configuration is a group containing all administrators of Integrity. We are using LDAP (active Directory) in our domain.
A resolution for us could be to define a group containing all administrators and list name and email address of them. E. g. about "Help -> Server Contacts"

It is not possible to nest if-then-else statements in the Word export templates:
<% if ConditionA %> <% if ConditionB %> <% else %> <% endif %> <% else %> <% if ConditionC %> <% else %> <% endif %> <% endif %>
According to CS89313 the statements can be rewritten (with AND condition), but that would create a huge number of statements, when using several conditions:
<% if (ConditionA) AND (ConditionB) %> <% elseif ConditionA %> <% elseif ConditionC %> <% else %> <% endif %>
My intentation was to check for empty fields and the apply different formatting in Word. But that would mean to check lots of combinations of fields with AND conditions resulting in a hugh template. The nesting of the statements would solve that problem. Actually I was very surprised, that such basic progamming techniques are not possible.

Documents created as a result of branching or create from template actions are not detectable by Integrity rule triggers. See case CS87182 for previously documented requests.

Today's limitation of available definition of settings for displaying Date/Time/Numbers/... results in complex scripting etc.
A script developed in India based on OS-Setting English won't be displayed correctly in China with an chinese OS and vice versa.
There is always an overhead requiredto manipulate the in- and output of such fields.
Second:
Whereas we have defined English as company language, the regional definitions for numbers, dates etc. are still valid.
But Integrity does allow only one set of settings in one client, either english or another language.
(compare Document https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS202075)
It would be great to have the possibility to choose dynamically all available setting provided from the Operating system.
In same way for running scripts ther ecould be made suggestions how to modify settings, if from script the used formats does not match the client used.

It would be great if it was possible to create a Dashboard, that could be used to automatically filter all content not for Project but e.g. a "Affected Product" IBPL field.
The overall functionality of the dashboard could stay the same, only the "implicit filter" would be set to a different field.
The API seems to be available as the CLI already has an appropiate Parameter

...
--fieldFilter = field=[value,value,...]
specifies the field filter to be applied to the dashboard. Currently, only project field filters are supported.

When you have to admin and support some hundred installed clients, what would realla help is a way to publish a "complete" default configuration for the client's gui.
Currently there are ways to configure a viewset and all it's option:
- menu content (which command is visible (on Toolbar ) or not )
- view behavior (floating or "inline" position)
- content of context menu's in views
...
but all these setting do only apply for the viewset's "inline" views.
There should be a admin tool to define the default settings for a floating view, especially things like:
- a default filters e.g. for a history view
- the content of the context menu e.g. in a sandbox view
- the commands available in the menu e.g. in an item detail view
- Custom Buttons. e.g. in the Test Result Editor

Users would like to optimize their charts through automated sorting. For instance a Pie chart where the first segment is always the largest. Or a distribution chart sorted from large to small, like a Pareto.

It would be nice if the gui could be started with a viewset parameter.
Viewset are a good way of separating/organizing features of integrity by different user-roles, use cases, or process areas.
Currently only admins can only publish mandatory viewsets to the client of a connnecting user, but you cannot "enforce" the user to use these.
As Integritry is able to cover a wide range of scopes, it would be nice to have the Option to start the GUI especially for one selected viewset.
Even better would be the possibility to do this via an "integrity://server ort/...." Hyperlink.
For example in a process driven environment you could send a email to the assigned user of a certain task, including this link
(something like "integrity://<server>:<port>/im/viewsegment?selection=<ID>&viewset=Requirement_Document_Review")
and thereby ensure, that the intended usecase can be fully covered, as all (and only the necessary) GUI settings are given.
Please vote for this IDEAs
Enable one instance of client GUI per viewset
Make viewsets "shareable" like queries, charts, reports and dashboards

It would be great if there is option to define the sorting of QBR results.
As of now it sorts randomly, different for different users and user has to manually sort it after results is loaded.
This is sometimes frustrating to the users, so it would be really great if we specify the default sorting order just like any query.

For most users it would be very helpful if a date field would also display the calendar week, see also RFC 1022938 / article CS199008
Any chance this enhancement will be implemented in the near future?

Currently, it's not possible to limit the number of results returned by a specific query. It always returns as much elements as it matches, up to the overall limit (which would result in an exception view/error message rather than the number of results up to this limit).
For certain use cases it would be good to have the possibility to limit the number of results on a per query basis. Having such a feature, we could create queries, e.g. for diagrams, where just a certain number of results (10, 20, 50, ...) are used to generate something.

It should be possible to deploy a Integrity Setup via Staging mechanism to more than one server, for example to a second productive server of another productline or simple a Trainings or Playground Server.

IM Dynamic Group feature basically defines and affect the IM Project and all access control definition to all Items created within the project.
How about listing all the dynamic groups at Project creation/update wizard itself so that correspending Project Adminstrator can update the information & memebership of relevant project at same place.
I feel this way we can also define the Project permission (Project access scope) based on the membership.
Currently, Project Permission tab allows only static groups which I feel is not ideal.
Sometimes, you really want to expose Project & Project data to specific bunch of users and not entire static group members.
This idea if implemented shall be a definite product advantage.

Today the EnvironmentBean does only allow a message Box to display an Abort Message.
I request to have also the possibility to create an Info Message while storing a change to an item.
This would give the possibility to inform a user that he for eg. shall pay attention to something before his next working step.
